The only woman in a room of 20 tenured men. Topic: gender equity. Response (from several): “There are no gender issues here.” This is the gender issue. I stayed. I spoke up. Still here.

Heading into Week 9 and reflecting on the first eight. My students are thinking deeply about math, justice, and community. Here's a snapshot. Excited for what's next!

Love learning from and with my students. #Gratitude #MathEducation #SocialJusticeInMath #MentorshipMatters #TransformationalTeaching #ThankYouAdvisor #InclusiveEducation #EquityInSTEM #MathematicsForAll #LifelongLearning #LeadershipInEducation #HigherEd
A thank-you infographic with a seafoam green background and subtle math symbols. The text expresses deep gratitude to an advisor named Eva for transforming the author's view of mathematics through social justice teaching. Key phrases include “You opened my eyes,” “I went from a skeptic to a believer,” and “You taught me that feedback is love.” At the bottom is a minimalist illustration of justice scales and human figures, symbolizing equity and real-world connections in math education.

Happy Birthday to my baby! #HappyBirthday #ProudMom #FamilyVibes #LoveMyGirls #Seventeen
A warm, cartoon-style digital illustration of a smiling family celebrating a 17th birthday. The background is yellow with colorful balloons and a banner reading “HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY!” Front and center is the birthday girl with short dark hair and glasses, surrounded by her two older sisters, her mom with short red hair and blue glasses, and her dad with dark hair and glasses, all smiling joyfully.

Building Community by asking students to introduce themselves. Community + Belonging are important in math. #MathEducation #MathEd #MathTeachers #TeachingMath #LearnMath #MathStudents #MathClass #STEMEducation #EduCommunity #MathCommunity #EducationCommunity #TeacherCommunity #MathForAll #MathEquity
A beige-background infographic titled “IDENTITY WHEEL ACTIVITY (n = 13)”. The content is arranged in a 2 × 2 grid outlined by thin black lines. • Top-left cell: heading “What did you learn about yourself?” followed by a short paragraph that says participants recognised areas of privilege, confronted vulnerability, and reflected on personal growth. • Top-right cell: heading “What did you learn about your classmates?” with a paragraph noting shared experiences, diverse perspectives, and appreciation for openness. • Bottom-left cell: heading “How would you define community?” with a paragraph describing community in terms of support, shared values, collaboration, and understanding. • Bottom-right cell: heading “How did this activity contribute to the beginning of creating a community?” with a paragraph explaining that students found commonalities, built trust, and connected through shared identities.
